Our world is drowning in pollution: rivers blackened by oil, air thick with toxins, and soil stripped of life. But nature holds a secret weapon: amoebas and their symbiotic microbes. These tiny warriors engulf oil, break down pollutants, and regulate harmful bacteria with limiting antimicrobial genes. Slowly, contaminated lands heal, water clears, and life returns. Even in the dirtiest messes, amoebas work silently, proving nature can restore what’s been lost.
